    I’m not a fan of utalitarianism myelf, so this might be wrong; this sounds like utalitarianism - as the action you did cause other suffering.

    then in your moral philosophy, are all actions that cause suffering (and joy, and all other feelings a human can experience) morally wrong?

    Is then not dating, f.ex Morally wrong?

    Or is it the impossibility of consent? Yes, a child is unable to consent to being born. Just as we are all unable to consent to the world being created, or nature’s whims. I cannot consent to a state on the other side of the world making policies, but I can still react and do things about it.

    Is it morally wrong to let animals have children?

      If one animal species is harming an ecosystem then I don’t see how it’s morally wrong to limit their reproduction.

        Usually, a better way to help an ecosystem balance itself is to reintroduce predators or similarly.

        the deer population in yellowstone was destroying the soil, this was solved by reintroducing wolves.

        there’s a big difference between this, and f.ex castrating a lot of the deer, or going on a shooting spree.

        It also goes with the assumption that the ecosystem is either outside the moral spectrum, or morally good.
